The electronic transcript was then corrected and chronologically related to the South Seas transcriptions of the Cook and Bank journals and volumes two and three of Hawkesworth's Account of the Voyages'in the Southern Hemisphere (1773).

Readers familiar with the original print version of the Journal will know that its chapter headings do not entirely correspond to the sections into which the text of the book is divided. Therefore several additional chapter headings have been added to this online edition to provide readers with easier access to sections of the text and to help in the comparison and contrast of specific parts of Parkinson's account of the voyage with those of Cook, Banks and that compiled by John Hawkesworth.

As with Cook and Banks's journals, Parkinson's spelling and punctuation have been retained with the exception of the long s that was represented typographically by the letter f prior to 1800.
